Civil War: 1862 coming to Mac App Store

April 16th, 2014

Civil War: 1862, the prequel to strategy wargame Civil War: 1863, is coming to the Mac App Store tomorrow and includes all the previously available DLC from the iOS version included in the purchase price of $6.99 / €5.99 / £4.99.

Civil War: 1862 features an 8 mission tutorial and 53 detailed missions across 7 campaigns. All missions can be played as both the Union and Confederates with the exception of the tutorial.

Civil War: 1862 incorporates the detailed strategic gameplay of the original (Civil War: 1863) while adding major new features and improvements such as flank attacks and strategic movement. Melee combat has also been given greater emphasis and the range of troop quality has been expanded to include elite units.

The Mac version of the game also features iCloud saves so missions can be started on the Mac then loaded later on the iOS version of the game so you can continue your battles on the move. Note this feature will be available in the Mac release tomorrow, however the iOS update to the game will be released to support it shortly afterwards.
